Product Description
Product Description
Description: A provocative multi-media project that establishes Native history as an essential part of American history. The centerpiece of this initiative is a television series that tells five heartbreaking yet inspiring stories. Together they highlight Native ingenuity and resilience over the course of 300 years. The series upends two-dimensional stereotypes of American Indians as simply ferocious warriors or peaceable lovers of the land.
Review
"Viewers will be amazed." "If you're keeping score, this program ranks among the best TV documentaries ever made." and "Reminds us that true glory lies in the honest histories of people, not the manipulated histories of governments. This is the stuff they kept from us." --Clif Garboden, The Boston Phoenix
"Gripping." "Scores big by keeping its scope mostly personal, picking out captivating personalities and relationships to portray." "There were not only epidemics and massacres, but also enough political intrigue to make Matt Drudge's head spin." and "PBS's cinematography is about as lush as anything you'll see." --Allison Williams, Time Out New York
"Romanticized or marginalized...according to the creators of We Shall Remain, those are the two main ways in which Native American history has been over-simplified. Thus, there is a clear purpose to the five-part documentary/docu-drama project." --Bill Harris, Toronto Sun

- Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2024I had heard this was a good DVD and I bought it. It presents our Natve American story truly.
- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2012Having ancestors who were Iroquois and having made a "mistake" marrying into a Puritan Family (thinking these are modern times), I learned again that the more things change the more they remain the same. My X was "1620" on "both sides" as I sat through "family lectures" during every Thanksgiving telling me of her Puritan ancestors and their so called contributions in Plymouth and Taunton (with no acknowledgment to the Natives who "helped them to survive!" . It was a warped experience, but none the less a "True American Experience". "WE SHALL REMAIN" should be taught in every school system in this Country - to "reveal" the true nature of many (not all them) of the in coming leadership into North America (and South and West). Thank you for this production to help every American to "understand the American condition" and who really had (has) the serious Spiritual problems!
I send a copy of "WE SHALL REMAIN" to my son(s)who live in Wareham, MA. Hopefully, they can understand better, their Mash pee neighbors and the other indigenous tribes in not just in New England, but all over the United States and not have the tendency to "ignore them" any more.
Thank you for your invitation.

- Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2017I am of Yankton Sioux heritage, so I have mostly studied the Sioux history and culture. I don't know how I missed this PBS series when it originally aired, but I'm really glad I watched it recently. So much media coverage regarding Native American history focuses on the Sioux wars in the Dakotas, so this series was really informative about the great struggles of some of the other tribes. I already knew the names of the Native leaders talked about in this series, but I had no idea of the whys and wherefores regarding their legacies. My pet peeve is romanticizing the lives of the 19th century tribes, but this series laid it all out, warts and treachery included. I usually find reenactments kind of cheesy, but this was really well done and did not detract from the historical facts being laid out.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2015I love studying and hearing a recounting of history, in particular history of America. This was a richly riveting, well-made historical look at the history of Native America... truth be told, though, I was repeatedly shocked at the insertion of subjective opinions and ideas about that history. I fall neither to one side or the other when it comes to the 'feelings' about the settling of North America, but love to hear history recounted. This production, however, was some history mixed with a sympathetic viewpoint (which all Americans are raised to believe, by the way) of what 'happened' to the native people inhabiting North America (including Mexico and Canada, no one EVER seems to recall). Nonetheless, it was well-made and I enjoyed it. I just prefer a supposedly public broadcasting station like PBS not impose it's own agenda as the truth.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2009This is an excellent film series told from the viewpoint of the natives in America.They were strong and beautiful, but they could not stop the flood of people from Europe. The first episode about the arrival at Plymouth rock is so different than what I learned in school. It showed me how quickly treaties and pacts can change in just a generation!
When you see Geronimo with 29 people against 9,000, you have to be in awe of the man. He rode in the presidential parade as a hero, but the US government never let him return to his homeland.Sad story.
I also am concerned for the tribes in Brazil today. I googled a map of where Christians have been spreading the "true" religion. Very sad indeed. Let the tribes there have their own religion and way of life. Have we learned nothing?
This series should be shown in high schools & colleges today!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2013This is not the whole story. A capitalist system demands free labor and that is what America got with the import of African slaves who created great wealth for the country. The Spanish conquered Mexico and used the indigenous people to work in the gold and silver mines, while the US moved the Indians to reservations and subverted their cultures. We went on to remove elected leaders in Latin America and replace them with people who favored US corporate interests operating in their country. We even convinced the Chilean military to bomb the National Palace to kill an elected president and replace him with General Pinochet, an extreme right wing president who murdered hundreds of students and put them in unmarked graves. That story could be told in another American Experience documentary.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019This documentary covers over two centuries of sad history. I was surprised to learn that the issue of the Native Americans is far from being over, when I got to see the footage of the siege of the Pine Ridge Reservation. It reminded me a lot on Waco. It is stunning again and again what humans do to each other. As I continued my research, I was surprised to read that Cherokees were gathered into concentration camps on US soil, about one hundred years before Hitler instated similar measures in Germany against his perceived "foes".
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2009I am ashamed to say I haven't viewed the complete series,yet. But I know I won't be disappointed. I had hoped to find all of the PBS series titled "How the West was Lost," but I guess it is out of print, & insted found the background music, on a DVD, from "Amazon." What a thrill!
Amazon, as usual, is efficient & unbelievably quick in sending out anything I have purchased from them. Whether it be coffee, books, CD's, or DVD's.
If you are interested in learning more about Indians,(when did I become a Native American) which I have been since birth, from the Indian viewpoint...order this series NOW. Thanks for reading my review. Hope you'll enjoy it as much. Happy hunting.

4.0 out of 5 stars storia dei nativi
molto ben fatto bello ed esaustivo
un'unica pecca non ci sono sottotitoli in italiano e anche se il francese è abbastanza comprensibile
si rischia di perdere qualche passaggio
se fosse in italiano meriterebbe la valutazione massima

5.0 out of 5 stars Très bon dvd
Super dvd expliquant bien l histoire de la colonisation des blancs en Amérique du Nord. À travers différentes époques et tribus on voyage, et on comprend mieux l histoire et la création des États-Unis et le génocide des indiens.
- Mrs. C. L. B. RichardsonReviewed in the United Kingdom on March 18, 2012
5.0 out of 5 stars Simply Outstanding
I highly recommend this DVD series to anyone interested in Native American history/culture. It's informative, glossey and engaging from the first to last episode. In fact, the only downside to this outstanding collection, is that I wish it were ten times longer.
